The Comet from Topeka, Kansas • 7

THE COMET 5 fore it was learned that Colorado was not expecting to play, and last season they expected us when we had not considered any date closed. This year, however, the game will be played, and the relative strength of the two teams will be measured. We have played the D. A. C.

twice. The first season we won-5 to 0, but last year the tables were turned, and they celebrated a victory of the same score. Their team will be much the same as the one which was not defeated last year. Cavanaugh will again coach them, and they are hoping to live up to last year's record. Kirkoff, the giant guard is again with them, and some old Washburn players shudder at the recollection of his charges into our line.

Sixteen men will make up the football crowd. This will include the coach, the manager and fourteen players. Some people from town are intending to go with them, and altogether there will be a jolly crowd to take one of the pleasantest trips that could be made. A Dinner Party Last evening Miss Spencer, Miss Dougherty and Miss Clarke gave an anti-nuptial dinner for Miss Mae Davis and Mr. Gray Kennedy, of this city, whose wedding occurs October 31.

The guests were received at Holbrook in Miss Spencer's parlor, and at half past six a course dinner was served from small tables by Miss Parker and Miss Scoville. The tables were laid with lunch cloths worked with violets, and on them were vases of pink and white carnations. Mrs. Wiley catered. The music of Miss Clarke and Miss Spencer gave the finishing touch to this delightful function.

Those who were present were: Misses Davis, Spencer, Dougherty and Clarke; Messrs. Kennedy, Ellis, Conant and Grimsley. Auburn Locks The following verses are published by request, in the interest of the young ladies of the college who have auburn locks: I had heard in my youth That, around the heart Of each wholesome man, And I know its the truthFrom the very startBy some unknown plan, There is knotted and tied A single lone hair, and the hair is red; And when it unties The person dies, Or is broken hearted -the same as dead; I know it's so, for I have seen it tried. And I hold it true, that never a man Fought life and fought death, and fought friend and foe, For a woman's smile, or a woman's fan, Whether today or long ago, Unless the taesses upon her head Showed red, or, at least, a shade of red. And why must a man Love once for all? Once- once and tell, if you can, Why a woman whose hair has a tinge of red, Be she ever small Or ever so tall, Will keep on a loving until she's deadAnd a good deal longer, I've heard it said.

The Powers Recital Francis Fisher Powers, of New York, will give a recital at the Grand Opera House tomorrow evening. Mr. Powers is one of the foremost vocal instructors in New York, and is well known throughout the county. He spent last summer teaching in Kansas City, and several Topeka people went down weekly and took lessons of him. He came up to Topeka one Sunday and sang at the Methodist church, and his selections were listened to by a large and appreciative crowd.

His recital will undoubtedly be a musical treat. He will be assisted by Miss Emily King, Miss Vera Low and Mrs. A. R. Lingatelt, who are among his Topeka pupils..
